Really good

I pick and choose the artists I want to hear interviewed but the ones I have listened too I have enjoyed.

Zane has great knowledge and connects with the artists and gets the most out of them.

Disappointing

Lowe asks poor questions (when he even asks questions at all), talks too much, and rarely says anything insightful. He also comes across like a teenager trying to be cool and impress someone else.

The episodes I listened to were insufferable: two people talking a lot without really saying anything.

Lowe should invest some time in learning interviewing techniques and take a more curious stance.

Lowe takes himself far too seriously

Why does low feel like his needs to over describe everything, the music speaks for its self, we don’t need 10 min rambles on everything. He also highlights himself in topics far too much.
